I can only tell you from my own experience. Pre patch the game looked really sharp & crystal clear on my HDTV with vibrant colour. After the patch it looks even better its clearer & runs much faster. Just because DF analyse the content via reverse engineering frame capture does not make them absolute gods or always 100% accurate. Some HDTV's handle content way better than others (superior high end scaling on 120Mhz panels have unnoticeable screen tearing for instance which is what my display has) capturing the footage & analysing is nowhere near 100% scientifically accurate is it due to so many variables in modern displays & HDMI cables! All I can say for sure is both games but especially Arkham Asylum look & play way better than before on my HDTV!Digital Foundry know what they are talking about, to accuse them of doing something as idiotic as that is very disingenuous.
Their criticism is that the patch actually runs the first game in the series at a locked 45 fps which is terrible as it isn't divisible in to 60hz, resulting in judder.
Another criticism is that the resolution of the second game is nowhere near even 1080p, despite running on a console with 6Gflops.

If I CBA (I can't either BTW ) and I took screenshots & video capture directly from the Xbox1X & showed the same section running from my Steam 4K edition most gamers would easily see the Xbox1X enhanced version looks way better! The textures have much more detail, the shader FX are way newer due to Unreal Engine4 & whatever Direct X equivalent the Xbox1X is now running. Water FX & shiny surfaces especially look way better than ever before but also there are a few other newer touches like fake HDR & stronger volumetric light ray FX shafts).
If you were standing in front of the X1X playing this game it would look better still screen captures & video do not capture how much better it looks visually and it for sure looks better than ever before
